I have a crafty trick, in fact, another MOT question...
I have idea to fit a Y section in the exhaust that can be opened up (electric butterfly flap) to bypass the silencers and exit instead via side exit.
So with flick of a swicth inside the car i can be OE spec normal exhaust, or real loud with no restriction.
IS that OK for MOT?
Several cars have this as std equipment.
MGF for example. there is no switch though its done automatically.
Porsche 996 too
So should be no problem.

depends on how presented?
Maybe not an Issue for MOT, Maybe some Track Stewards are playing BB? LOL!
Any modifications that are made, Including Tyre and Wheel changes, Yes, On Forecourt one day and booked in Next Day with different Combination, Can be Manually Advised!
We have to CYA, so that Half an Hour after Your Test, When "Plod" pulls you Up! We are not Questioned about Our Integrity.
Laters, Wes.

For "run what you brung" drag racing you just show your driving licence, then drive, no helmet needed unless you can hit 100mph or more over the line...(currently my best is 96mph!)
Guess you won`t be enjoying Castle Coombe then?

Many thanks though.
Do They Not have any Scrutineering then?

MSA Regulations, might require you to construct a rear bulkhead, Have a look at The Blue Book.
Not our Issue though.

Sounds OK as far as MOT is concerned, Route any breather pipes to the outside though.

Hi Everyone,
My first post here.
Im struggling to find any info on rules regarding retro fitting a new fuel tank.
I am modifying a old Daihatsu Charade Turbo, stripping the interior out, fitting roll cage etc for track days, but the car will still need to be MOT'd and road Legal.
The standard fuel tank and fuel lines under the car looks a little rusty, so im wondering if i can remove it and instead fit a new alloy fuel tank inside the car, obviously it wil be bolted down properly and wil have a proper screw cap with seal.
I also plan on having the new fuel lines running on the inside of the car and then through the bulkhead.
The car is a 3 door hatchback so there is no firewall seperating the tank, i would be mounting the tank between the rear suspension strut towers.
From what i gather, there is nothing to say the above is a problem, as long as its properly secure and leak free.
Cheers,
Nathan
